Is there anyway using an HEQ5 Pro with a PST?

The HEQ5 can set the tracking rate to solar for the sun. After that it is up to you to get a good alignment.

When I use my PST on my EQ6 I screw a ball head into a dovetail plate and then mount the PST on that. If you don't have a spare plate and/or ball head you could use something like this (I think):

I already have an adapter that I used from my last setup. I have this: http://www.firstlightoptics.com/user/products/skywatcher_dovetail_L-bracket_20995.jpg
Good thing about it I was able to unscrew the dovetail part and just use the other bit where the PST attaches itself to.
